CNN - Boeing had no new orders for planes in April.
Not only did the troubled 737 Max receive zero new orders since it was grounded March 13. Boeing's other jets, such as the 787 Dreamliner or the 777, also did not get any new orders last month, according to a company report released Tuesday.
Boeing (BA) did report some orders for the other jets in late March, even in the wake of the March 10 crash of an Ethiopian Airlines jet and the grounding of the 737 Max that followed. Lufthansa ordered 20 of the 787 jets on March 15, and British Airways ordered 18 of the 777X on March 22. But the only orders reported by Boeing for April were bookkeeping entries: Four 737 Max jets that had been sold to Boeing Capital in the past were transferred to an unidentified lessor last month. Boeing didn't count those as new orders. Instead, it reclassified sales it had already reported in the first quarter.
None of Boeing's other jet models have crashed, and airlines have not reported any safety problems other than the 737 Max. But the 737 Max's problems could be the reason airlines put orders for the other jets on hold, said Philip Baggaley, the lead credit analyst for the transportation sector for Standard & Poor's. Airlines are holding out to determine whether Boeing will lower its prices in light of the Max issues, Baggaley believes. "If it turns out that Boeing makes some accommodations with customers over the grounding of the 737 Max, it probably won't be a straight cash compensation," said Bagggaley. "It might be a lower price on future orders, or some other change in those orders. There could be things going on behind the scenes that could essentially turn into orders."
Executives from several airlines, including Norwegian Air and United Airlines (UAL), have said they expect to reach an agreement with Boeing over some form of compensation as a result of having their 737 Max planes grounded. It's also true that new aircraft orders have been fairly slow this year for both Boeing and Airbus, a result of massive orders in recent years that left each aircraft makers with a backlog of thousands of jets. "Boeing had a God-awful first quarter in terms of orders [before the Ethiopian crash] and they beat Airbus," said Richard Aboulafia, aerospace analyst for the Teal Group. "It's just a massively over-ordered environment."
In addition to those factor, the Paris Air Show is next month. It is one of the industry's premier events and one where new orders are frequently announced. So that can make April and May both slow months for new order announcements. But Boeing did report 76 orders in April 2018.

It's probably only a matter of time before Trump signs a new executive order banning American companies from doing business with any foreign aviation companies.

Boeing is on its way to make suicide from negligence, another Chinese bullet will not make it even more dead
I had an opportunity to talk with several pilots and their conclusion on the issue is that Boeing is using software to mask design flaw of its plane. Sooner or later that approach is doomed to fail no matter what they will do. It looks like they will patch the plane and they will buy time until the next final accident. Boeing's hopes are that by then they will have new design.

Is bankruptcy on the horizon?
Its sad thing that US companies are not making quality products in their own country as they use to in the old times.

I was not aware Boeing is making planes in Greece

Boeing's nightmare year got even worse this weekend as the manufacturer warned that hundreds of its 737 planes, including 159 of the troubled 737 Max jet, may have faulty parts on their wings.
The Seattle-based company warned in a Sunday statement that one batch of slat tracks, produced by an unidentified supplier, was found to "have a potential nonconformance."
Slats are moveable panels, built into a plane's wings, that provide extra lift during takeoff and landing. Slat tracks are used to guide them.
Twenty 737 Max planes, and 21 737 Next Generation (NG) planes are "most likely to have the parts in question," Boeing said.
As well as the 41 planes it had specific concerns about, Boeing warned all airlines that operate 737 planes to check their slats as a precaution.
The manufacturer will ask operators to check a total of 133 NGs and 179 Maxes, and will send a service bulletin outlining how airlines should check for faulty slat tracks, it said.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will also issue a directive to make Boeing's recommendations to check the jets mandatory.

Correct therm is still Macedonian*. But now the name of my country is North Macedonia
*Package deal in which everyone loses and no one wins
I think there is confusion that my country will soon declare bankruptcy. We are not Greece and we are at ~46% from GDP so we are relatively safe. But if Germany has issues(~48% of our exports ends up there) we will have it as well and those 46% debt wont matter a lot
And Boeing is still in danger of bankruptcy. Why? Because they have flawed plane design in industry that simply doesn't forgive such negligence.
And its not just 737 MAX, its 787 Dreamliner as well. Both planes make ~95% of Boeing's orders for new planes.

Let's not use hyperbole. Let's wait for facts and avoid such wild speculations.

Boeing is in full-on damage-control mode as the aerospace industry faces a rash of concerns that threaten to send it into a slump.
Ahead of the Paris Airshow this week, one of the aircraft industry's most important events, Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg told reporters his company made a "mistake" in how it handled the cockpit safety feature that's been implicated in two deadly crashes of the company's signature 737 Max aircraft.
The company has drawn widespread condemnation for not alerting pilots and regulators that a safety indicator in the planes didn't work, which has been faulted for contributing to the crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia that killed nearly 350 people.
Boeing's 737 Max has been grounded for months as the company reckons with the fallout, and Muilenberg slammed his firm's communication as "not acceptable" and promised more transparency as they try to get their best-selling plane back up in the air.
Regulators say the aircraft isn't expected to be in operation again until the end of the year, far longer than initially anticipated.
